Playing against violence: a case study of popular theatre in Zimbabwe

Abstract
This article reviews the performance in Zimbabwe of a play called Tinoendepi? as
an exemplary piece of popular theatre aimed at alerting audiences to issues of violence
during the run-up to the 2002 presidential election. The play presents the
history of a country that opposed colonial violence with successful revolution
before subsiding into a recognizable brand of neo-colonial violence.
